(a) Every dwelling unit within the Village shall have one approved smoke detector installed outside each sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms, and an additional detector on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements and finished attics, but excluding unfinished attics and crawl spaces. In new construction, a non-battery, hard-wired, battery back-up, interconnected smoke detector shall also be installed in each sleeping room. In rented or leased dwelling units, properly functioning smoke detectors shall be installed by the owner of the premises.
(b) In “split level” dwelling units which contain adjacent levels with less than one full story separation, the installation of a smoke detector on an upper level shall suffice for the next adjoining lower level, unless there is an intervening door between the adjacent levels, in which case a smoke detector shall be installed on each level.
(c) All smoke detectors shall be maintained in working order at all times.
